Sparky Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Looks nice and stealthy mate, next has to be an import plate for the front Quote Link to post Share on other sites
durmz Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 Looks nice and stealthy mate, next has to be an import plate for the front i would but the fucking knob who had the car before me decided to actually tap some screws into the bumper to hold the number plate on, so if i get an import plate im gonna have gash holes in the front bumper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Looks real tidy Tom. As for the number plate, put a proper one and do a temporary job with black silicone to cover the holes. The car is black too so I'd say it wouldn't really be noticed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
durmz Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 yeah, might be worth a go idrees, and if not ile just change it back, ile only mount the new one with velcro or summit lol so i can move it if need be hehe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
